If they had fat-free icecream - or fat free cheeses here I would.

Unfortunately they don't...

sigh

Just another reason why counting points really wouldn't be helpful here in
Tokyo.

yes but the best example is next time you are in the grocery look at the
same flavor of ice-cream in regular and low fat versions, also where I
noticed it was in prepackaged pudding, it worked out that regular full fat
full sugar pudding was 3 and 4 points, take out the fat down to 2 and take
out the sugar down to one, the fat acts as a double penalty, sorta counting
the fat twice, Lee, who thinks generally 50 per point is a good ballpark but
when counting points accuracy is everything, Lee

Doug,

I can't explain it but the effect of the fiber can be big, so can the
fat,
if you could get a look at a point slide you being good with numbers
could
see this,

I have the equation...

points = calories / 50 - fiber * 0.2 + fat * 0.083

with a maximum of 4 fiber grams allowed

It still seems to me that this is basically 50 points per calorie for
almost
everything realistic, though you an stretch and find certain exceptions of
course.
